Sahih al-Bukhari #4813
Virtues of the Qur'an
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "The example of him (a believer) who recites the Qur'an is like that of a citron
which tastes good and smells good. And he (a believer) who does not recite the Qur'an is like a date
which is good in taste but has no smell. And the example of a dissolute wicked person who recites the
Qur'an is like the Raihana (sweet basil) which smells good but tastes bitter. And the example of a
dissolute wicked person who does not recite the Qur'an is like the colocynth which tastes bitter and
has no smell.
